c. ]. Eklund says there is no use to
talk to him against advertising, for his
hogs are going lively since he advertised
them for sale in the World.
Some varments frequent the chicken
houses of this vicinity. These are sup
posed to be four-legged animals, from the
number of egg shells they leave in the
nests.
Mr.. James Harvey, of Big Greek, starts
for Nebraska this week. He says he
is going to stay. Although it makes
one bachelor less about Ogallah, we
regret his loss.
A Quaker missionary was on Big creek
last week. The old gentleman and his
wife formerly lived in Graham county,
but have lately sold out and have started
as Quaker missionaries.
Mr. Ridgway has lost four work horses.
He now has one left. The supposition is
that they were poisoned, but no one
knows how. It is supposed by some that
bad water might have been the cause.
Mrs. W. 8. Knapp started to Michigan
last week to visit her parents and friends.
Mrs. Knapp will remain there some two
months, more or less. May she enjoy
herself, and return to her home with her
health fully restored, is our wish.
Rev. Knapp's text for last Sunday can
be found in End Timothy, End chapter
and 18th verse: Study. He will
preach again next Sunday, and invites
every one to come, and bring a pencil
and blank paper along to take notes.
Sickness has invaded the family of G.

County Clerk Hoar was down on Sun
day, and was gladly received by his
Ogallah friends. The reporter failed of
an opportunity to congratulate him on
his good fortune, and now, with his many
friends in and around Ogallah, we do so
by wishing long life and prosperity to
his SOD.
One day last week a Chinaman passed
through our town, begging his way.
Some of our people took pity on him and
gave him some money. He left town
with man who was going his way in a
wagon. When he got out he offered the
man drink from his bottle. He did not
drink. Will we help another tramp?
Prof. Halleck, of Ellis, was in our town
last week, as book agent. He is repre-
senting four different books, all of which
are both interesting and beneficial. The
professor is smart man, and has chosen
good books. He says he can work half
his time and lie around the other half,
and then beat school teaching to death.
The young man spoken of in the last
issue of the World was cleaning Smith
& Wesson revolver, and when throwing it
back to gather one of the shells, struck
the hammer and lodged the ball just
above the knee. Although this make of
revolvers is counted the best, there
surely can not be more dangerous kind
made, owing to the way they break in
two in the center.
